This spectacular rocket has a reptilian look that will "WOW" even t' biggest sci-fi fan. Well, blow me down! T' mother ship deploys an alien pod (alien included). T' pod extends legs and descends under its own parachute - lands upright everytime. Ahoy! Mothership returns on its own parachute.
I scored this one on E-Bay for $9.99 plus $5.80 for shipping. Arrr! What a deal!! Rocket listed for $26.99 in Estes 2000 catalog.

Maiden flight for this rocket. Well, blow me down! T' only motor listed for this rocket be t' C6-3 with good reason. Nay a lot o' altitude but fun t' watch. Both parachutes deployed and both halves recovered safely. Lander Unit landed on its legs but wind promptly drug it over on its side for about 10-15 feet before I could get t' it. Both units came down close together a little over 100 foot or so from pad. Well, blow me down! This rocket is screamin' for more power and I believe that t' 18mm AreoTech composite D10-3 or a D24-5 would be t' better choice and will be included in future flights.
